How much pressure are lawmakers under to raise $$$? LOTS. New @IssueOneReform review of @FEC filings shows the typical House member in a competitive re-election race raised an average of about $13,000 PER DAY during the third quarter of 2026. 👇

New from @IssueOneReform: AI companies cast themselves as champions for the public good, but lobbying and campaign finance records reveal how they have worked behind the scenes to block the guardrails that would hold them accountable issueone.org/articles/ai-com…

Beyond lobbying, AI and tech giants are running inflammatory campaign ads across the country to elect their favored candidates, without mentioning their industry or funding.

AI companies want credit for sounding the alarm. Their lobbying tells another story. - Issue One

AI companies want a say in the rules and their lobbying budgets show just how much they’re willing to pay for it. Anthropic alone reported spending a record $2.1 million…

Big Tech lobby ITI, @ITI_TechTweets, put out a release on Sept. 30 cheering permitting reform. ITI flew congressional aides, including those on House Dems' AI task force, to Austin for pretty-fancy meetings with tech executives. Must have been appealing! readsludge.com/2026/06/10/st…

I just took action with @IssueOneReform to send a love letter to election heroes. Join me here: actionnetwork.org/letters/el…

Thank Our Election Heroes!

Election officials are working tirelessly to make sure our midterm elections go smoothly, and they so rarely get the love they deserve. These heroes don’t wear capes, but they do keep our democracy...

“The sad reality today is that both Republicans and Democrats are pumping massive amounts of money into opaque groups, leaving voters in the dark about which ultra-wealthy megadonors and special interests are trying to buy access and influence through large political contributions.” -- @mjbeckel anchoragepress.com/revealed-…

Revealed: The money behind the last-minute fringe candidate ad blitz in Alaska’s U.S. Senate primary

Groups exploited what one critic describes as an “outrageous” loophole allowing donor information to remain hidden until after ballots are cast.

NEW: Megadonors have now poured *2.3 billion* into the midterm elections. Leading the pack is Elon Musk, the world's richest man, who is now the biggest individual political donor in American history. Six donors have given $100M+. Read here: washingtonpost.com/elections…

Election reform should not be about giving one party an advantage. It should be about giving every American confidence that our elections belong to the American people. That is the principle behind the bipartisan Stop Foreign Funds in Elections Act, which the House passed unanimously yesterday. This bill closes a dangerous loophole that allowed foreign nationals to finance ballot initiatives, referenda, and recall elections. I’m grateful to @IssueOneReform for supporting this legislation and calling on the Senate to act. American elections must be decided by American citizens alone. 🔗: issueone.org/press/issue-one…
